Honestly, doing healthcare data, it has long seemed to me that
a) anonymity is often so hard to achieve and there are so many likely near future risks that the term should be used only very sparingly, whereas it is thrown around like it is going out of fashion
b) one can(should) have honest discussions during consent process about risk as one might for an image/photo release
c) abusive secondary data analysis needs to be seen to have serious consequences

This whole thing reminds me very much of RFC 3514.

Well over two decades after the Evil Bit was first proposed (a one-bit security flag in IP v4 to indicate that a packet is sent with evil intent), we still see apparently malicious packets arriving at firewalls, yet these do *not* have the Evil Bit set. However, as the Evil Bit is not set, we cannot say with certainty whether these apparently malicious packets are, in fact, evil.

A very strange mystery indeed. Perhaps we should call Poirot in so he can point out the obvious answers on page 1, knock off work early and spend the rest of the book wandering around delicatessens tasting brands of hot chocolate, or something.
